My Person of the Year: Ben Trovato

Any time there was a cause in search of a narrative, Ben Trovato was there.

 

By Robert Tracinski DECEMBER 30, 2014

As the year winds to a close, it is traditional to pick a “man of the year,” or in our more enlightened age, a “person of the year.” I’ve never done that before, but this year there is one candidate who has left his mark so indelibly on 2014 that I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge his vast influence.

 

Thus, my own personal pick for 2014′s Person of the Year: Ben Trovato.

 

He has been everywhere and had a hand in just about every big story, from Ferguson to the University of Virginia. He has been most active in his usual fields, journalism and politics, but we can see his impact as far afield as espionage and even retail.
